    Well almost everyone loads Hardy and after it is set up about right 
they set up the printer just like it was on Gutsy and it works.

    All your reload and long list of data means nothing to me. Lets go 
back to the beginning. What kind of printer do you have? Did you find it 
in the list of supported printers? Did you have it plugged in when you 
ran the printer setup software?
